The snow is mostly gone, here on the prairies, but it will be some weeks before we see greenery and flowers blooming. I can’t wait! It has been a long winter and I sure could use a bit of color. Late spring or early summer images are great for it because all is fresh and green is bright and not dimmed by dust of late summer days.
We are lucky here in Alberta, because some nights are full of light show. We had a couple of gorgeous Aurora showing last fall and I have managed to capture some shots without leaving the city.
I know, I know it is winter and everybody posts winter photography, but I am not ready for it yet. I see it outside my window every day, so I want to see something warm, colorful and pretty. Hope you are in need of this as well.
It has been a while since I’ve posted anything about Elk Island National Park. So, I think, it is time for some lovely sunset from the beginning of summer, when all was green, flowers were blooming and days were warm and long.
When I started with my photography, years and years ago, I was never keen on photographing people. I was once told that my images, although very nice, looked like post cards. They never featured my friends or family, only the nature and landscapes surrounding us. I wasn't deterred by it, and kept making images the way I liked.
I have a confession.... I love hats. Specially the fedora style. Randy-thon theme "Sexy", could not be any better than boudoir with a hat. Enjoy!
In the past few weeks, I've been involved in another, as I like to call them, Randy-thon. Randy Pond hosts these little gatherings in his studio in Vegreville. Those are a lot of fun, with a couple of models, trying out different poses, clothes etc, loud music, and lots of laughs. As photographers, we usually try new things with lights, angles, and share tips. This time the theme of the Randy-thon, was "Sexy". So for the next little while I'll be posting images from that gathering, hope you don't mind :) I was playing with my 90mm tilt-shift, and my Fuji X100. I was really surprised on how good the Fuji X100 worked with Pocket Wizards and different lights. So lets start with a Lady and a Fedora. Enjoy!
